Mozilla has announced that Persona will be shutting down November 2016.
django-browserid relies on the Persona service and will stop functioning
properly once Persona is shut down. While it is possible to self-host Persona
and configure django-browserid to rely on your own instance, this is difficult
and not recommended. See the wiki page linked above for recommended alternatives
to Persona for authentication.

django-browserid is a Python library that integrates BrowserID authentication
into Django.

BrowserID is an open, decentralized protocol for authenticating users based on
email addresses. django-browserid provides the necessary hooks to get Django
to authenticate users via BrowserID. By default, django-browserid relies on
Persona for the client-side JavaScript shim and for assertion verification.

django-browserid is tested on Python 2.7 and 3.4 onward, and supports Django
1.8 and up. See tox.ini for more details.
